According to the source, BNB would surpass USDT’s market cap at a price of $1,236 (source: X post dated Sep 21, 2025). The flip threshold equals USDT circulating market cap divided by BNB circulating supply; traders can verify by pulling USDT’s latest circulating market cap from Tether’s Transparency page and BNB’s circulating supply from BNB Chain’s BNB Auto-Burn portal or BscScan, then applying Threshold Price = USDT Market Cap / BNB Supply (sources: Investopedia market capitalization definition; Tether Transparency; BNB Chain BNB Auto-Burn; BscScan BNB supply). If verified, a BNB-over-USDT flip would change market-cap rankings used by market-cap-weighted digital asset indices, affecting constituent weights and potential passive flows (source: S&P Dow Jones Indices Digital Market Indices methodology).

According to Lex Sokolin, Aave has reached an all-time high of $25 billion in TVL, Tether's market cap has broken records at $150 billion, and Uniswap's cumulative trading volume has surged past $3 trillion. These verified milestones signal that decentralized finance (DeFi) is moving beyond the experimental phase into large-scale implementation. Traders should note that the rapid growth in DeFi protocols such as Aave, Tether, and Uniswap reflects increasing institutional and retail adoption, indicating heightened liquidity and trading opportunities in the crypto market. These developments may drive further volatility and attract more capital to DeFi assets, as confirmed by Lex Sokolin's Twitter statement on May 13, 2025 (source: @LexSokolin).
